Discount lift tickets for Steamboat Ski Resort

by G. Kunkel

Everyone knows that Steamboat does not sell discount lift tickets in any Colorado grocery store. This includes King Soopers, Safeway, Albertson's, City Market, and Costco.

Due to its location away from the competitive Front Range ski resort market, they can charge premium pricing for its lift tickets. That's not to say however that one can't find deals. With some advance planning, one can find reduced prices.

Need some ideas on where to look for those discount lift tickets to Steamboat Ski Resort?

Tip Your Ski or Snowboard Instructor

The instructor only receives about $5.00 in wages of the money you pay at the lesson desk. They do not get a percentage of the lesson cost.

If you or your child has a fun lesson, learn something, and get individual attention - the proper etiquette is to tip your instructor. $5-10 is typical for a group lesson while a private lesson is $50+.

You wouldn't stiff your breakfast waitress, so why would you stiff your instructor?
